The Sugatsune AR3-K200 is a 7-7/8 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide in an aluminum finish, with a hold-out detent that keeps the drawer open until you push it closed. It is built for compact, lightweight drawer applications where the aluminum construction and stay-open function both carry their weight.
A hold-out detent is the right choice when a drawer needs to stay open on its own. Think of a small parts tray in a workroom cabinet, a pull-out shelf in a media console, or a compact utility drawer in a vanity or built-in where both hands are busy while the drawer is open. The detent holds the drawer extended at full travel until a deliberate push releases it — no spring, no damper, just a mechanical catch that releases cleanly. This is a standard-motion slide in closing: once past the hold-out capture zone, the drawer rolls freely on its bearings. There is no self-close spring and no soft-close damper.
The AR3-K series is built from aluminum, which sets it apart from the zinc-finished steel slides that make up most of this segment. Aluminum is lighter than steel at the same profile, which matters in weight-sensitive furniture applications and anywhere the slide itself is visible when the drawer is open. The aluminum finish integrates naturally with modern hardware palettes — light-toned interiors, contemporary furniture, and installations where a raw zinc or painted steel slide would stand out. Side clearance for installation is not stated in the source data; confirm the required clearance against Sugatsune's installation spec before building the drawer box.
At 7-7/8 inches in closed length with a 23 lb capacity per pair, this slide is designed for small drawers: jewelry cases, spice pull-outs, desktop organizer units, bedside table drawers, and shallow utility compartments in custom furniture. At this length and load class, aluminum construction is a genuine advantage — the slide stays out of the way and does not add unnecessary weight to a lightweight build. The non-handed format means a single SKU stocks both sides, which simplifies ordering for shops running multiple small-drawer projects at once.
The 23 lb rating is per pair — both slides together. That is the working capacity for a drawer running on one AR3-K200 slide on each side.
No. The hold-out detent catches the drawer at the open position only. It does not function as a hold-in or stay-closed detent. Once pushed past the capture zone, the drawer rolls freely to closed with no snap or resistance.
Full extension means the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the complete drawer box out to the cabinet face. The 7-7/8 inch figure is the closed length of the slide, not a travel measurement — but at full extension, the drawer clears the opening entirely.
No. The AR3-K200 is non-handed, so the same slide fits both sides of the drawer. Order the quantity that matches your drawer count — two slides per drawer.
Side clearance is not confirmed in the available product data. Check Sugatsune's published installation specification for the AR3-K series before sizing your drawer box.
When the drawer is small, the load is light, and staying open hands-free is part of the design, the Sugatsune AR3-K200 delivers the right combination of aluminum construction, full extension, and a reliable hold-out detent in one compact package.
